Right now Trenton is driving me around the city. It feels nice to not have to worry about paparazzi or crazy fans. With Kye, I would have to sometimes wear sunglasses to hide my face. However right now I am a normal person that can dress accordingly to the weather.

"Thank you so much for helping me so last minute Trenton. This is so meaningful to me."

For the past couple of hours Trenton has been driving me around the whole city so that I can give my portfolio to every beauty salon we pass.

Right after Kye dropped me off, I phoned his cousin. I know Trenton was born in Texas so aside from Kye he is fit to show me around.

"No problem. Anytime. I was bored in that penthouse anyway. Can I ask you something Laila?"

I nod my head.

"Why are you looking for a job. My cousin fancies you and your kids enough to take care of you all. I know for a fact he would not mind."

I let out a sigh and stare into his hazel eyes.

"Unlike most of the girls your cousin is use to, I don't want Kye's money- matter of fact, I would prefer to not to be around him at all. He is a very unlikeable person."

He chuckles.

I raise my car window up so that no cold air slips in.

"So with all due respect- not that I don't like your presence, but why are you living with my cousin."

I shake my head mentally going over the reasons.

"That is something you will have to ask your cousin. I assure you it is not by choice on my part."

Trenton drops me off but does not stay. He said he has some work to finish up.

I wash my hands and change my clothes into comfy ones. Luckily Khloe is taking a nap in my bed. I turn my phone on vibrate and take a nap right next to her.

Kye's POV

________

"Yea Boss. Nothing really out of the ordinary. Just thought you should know your cousin Trenton has been cruising all over Austin with Ms. Clyne."

I swear I leave a permanent crease on my forehead after hearing this.

"Thank you Matteus."

I hang up on the secret body guard I assigned on Laila.

I immediately call Trenton.

"Hey cous-"

"What games are you fucking trying to play?"

I get straight to the point cutting him off.

"Excuse me?"

He has the nerve to sound irritated.

"Why else the fuck you think I moved you into my penthouse? I don't want you around Laila. Stay the fuck away from her!"

I hang up before he can respond. I hope he got the fucking message. I don't need him around her. I don't care if I am irrationally being territorial.

The whole day my mind has been on Lai.

I left the club right after I saw the text on my phone. I came home to apologize and explain myself, but by the time I got home Laila and Henry were fucking spooning on MY couch. I always knew Henry was an issue, but I'd be damn if I have to worry about both Henry and Trenton.

I call my assistant and tell her to cancel all my plans for the rest of the day. I need to have a talk with Laila.

In less than an hour I arrive home and immediately go looking for her. She's not in the kitchen, T.V. Room or living room so I go to her room.

My heart melts when I see her and Khlo laying down on the bed in dreamland.

I can't help but wish that Laila and I would be laying down in my bed with Khlo, Kyky and at least another three more of my offspring. In a creepy and crazy way, I wish that Lai was pregnant for me. Maybe then I would not have to worry about these other male suitors. I would not have to worry about any waiters staring at her. Henry would get the message and my cousin Trenton would know she's off limits, and of course I would hear less about her precious 'Anth.'

Damn if only this girl knew how much I think about her. I can't even complete work because my mind is always on her.

Recently I've hired an assistant to take notes in meetings, because I am not able to focus or remember things.

Laila stirs in her sleep and I hear her moan.

"Kye. I want Kye..."

My eyes widen at what I hear.

Her hands move towards her chest, and I quickly walk over to her and pick her up bridal style. Surprisingly she doesn't stir. All she does is place her head on my chest.

I walk her to my room and place her in my bed as I shower. I make sure to take a cold one. Hearing her moan she wants me just does something to me -something only Lai can cause.

"Fuck."

The cold shower is not working and I am forced to pump my length into my hand while thinking about her.

LAI'S POV

-----------

I wake up in Kye's bed, and I am just trying to figure out if someone brought me here, or I slept walk on my own.

I take time to smell his pillow which is coated in his scent.

I hug it and admonish myself because I should not be doing this. This is what a sèx crazed girlfriend or wife would do.

My heart aches at the word wife.

I don't think I will ever be a wife. I'm not wife material. I am not even good enough to be a mistress. I get out the bed once I hear someone in the bathroom.

My face reddens because I do not know how to explain how I got here. I try to sneak to leave, but as soon as I reach the door, I hear Kye's voice.

"Where are you going?"

He asks and I nervously turn back to see he is in only his towel.

"I-I-ummm"

Wow. I can't even speak.

He slowly walks up to me with a smirk on his face and his stare has my feet cemented onto the ground.

"K-Ky"

I still can't speak.

It is no surprise when he wraps his strong arms around me. He lifts me up and walks me to his bed.

He grabs my hands pinning them above my head and tries to kiss me, but I gain my senses and turn my face.

"What wrong, Firefly?"

He has the nerve to ask.

"I don't want to catch any STDs. God knows how much you've probably acquired from the last time you fuckèd me."

"Excuse me?"

He says in disbelief.

"What? You forgot last night? When you were sucking that girl's face off -not even after five minutes of fuckïng me?

Quick question sugarplum.

Did you do research on that girl too? When did you have time to? In between the five minutes right after you just used me to spit your load in?"

I get so mad.

"I apologize for being so overly emotional. I was the one who said that we should stop our relationship. I don't know... I just thought that even if we were just fuck büddies you would respect me enough to not make out with some random broad right in front of my face. Minutes after fücking me like that. Guess I was wrong."

I try to push him off me, especially when I see he is quiet and does not try to explain himself.

Kye leans up but pulls me against his chest as we stand up.

I gasp when my chest hits his naked cold one.

"She came on to me."

He responds.

"You kissed her back!"

I shout angrily and in the process surprising up both.

" I tried to push her off me, but then I saw you and Henry flirting and I was also drunk so I didn't push her off."

"Fuck you. That's a bitch ass move."

I say using all my strength to move away.

He lets out a grunt and stares at me intently.

"Look-"

He is cut of by his house phone.

"They can leave a voicemail."

He responds as he pulls me closer to him.

After a few seconds we hear a man on voice mail.

"Mr. Tanner. This is New York's Methodist hospital. Your fiancé Ms. Diana Lawrence is currently undergoing surgery."

I gasp when I hear the voicemail.

Kye hurries to the phone and Irrationally I get jealous.

"Surgery for what?"

He asks clearly concerned.

I can no longer hear what the man is saying.

"Okay I'll be there in a few hours."

Kye says before hanging up.

He quickly goes to his dresser and changes into his underwear not showing any signs of caring that I am there.

I watch as he quickly puts on his gray sweat pants and matching gray hoodie.

He looks so good. Damn.

"So what's up?"

I ask following him to his closet.

He grabs a suitcase and packs a few pairs of jeans along with tops and undershirts.

"Diana was apparently slashed with a glass bottle during a fight a few hours ago, and is now undergoing surgery."

Okay... And so what?

"What does that have to do with you?"

He stops and looks at me like I'm crazy.

"She's going to need someone to help her."

How does that relate to him?

"What about her boyfriend she is staying with? The one she is cheating on you with?"

He stands up and looks at me with pure irritation.

"What are you fuckîng aiming at Laila? Are you trying to make me mad?"

"Is my question unreasonable? You're dropping everything to go all the way to New York -by the amount of shit your packing, I'm guessing for at least a week and all for your ex fiancé. Why are you making her your responsibility?"

He holds the bridge of his nose and walks out the closet with his suitcase.

"I don't want to argue with you."

He states and I roll my eyes.

"I hope when you take her back she doesn't cheat on you again."

I state slamming his door behind me.

------

It has been two fucking weeks since Kye left.

He calls every night to speak to the kids, but that's about it. I don't know when he is coming back, but if he brings Diana here I am moving out.

Because he is gone, I take Kyle to school every morning. I don't have my old car, but I use Kye's. Whichever one I feel like using for the day.

I decided to sell my old car. I was always planning too.

I also got a job that I am enjoying. Grateful, because I am trying to save up to have my own store. I already have money saved from when we won the hair show at Ms. Gladys. So I'm not far in my journey of purchasing my store. I just need to save up a little more.

Right now I am visiting Trenton. He and I have became friends since Kye left.

He's not as bad as I thought he would be, but I notice he's been acting distant. I plan on confronting him about that today.

I pull up in front of the home he's staying at. I get out the car and buzz the doorbell.

Within seconds the door unlocks and I walk towards the elevator.

I press the number 6 and make it towards the 6th floor.

"Hey Lai"

Trenton extends his arms around me and pulls me into a hug.

We walk to the kitchen and Trent passes me a beer.

"This is a nice place."

I tell Trent.

This penthouse is sick the view is crazy. There furniture is beautiful.

"I think Kye's ex decorated this. What's here name again?"

My mouth slackens.

"So Diana was good for something I see. Did Kye update you on how she is doing?"

"Why? Something happened to her?"

Trent asks taking a seat.

"Yeah some fight causing someone to slash her face with a bottle. Your cousin ran to go see her in the hospital and has been with her for about two weeks now."

"No. You are lying!"

Trenton says holding the bridge of his nose like his cousin.

"Nope."

I say grabbing my beer and taking a sip.

"Excuse me please."

Trenton says while taking out his phone and walking to his room. I take my beer and go to the living room.

It feels like a hour since Trenton has been in his room. I've managed to watch almost a full episode of Prison Break before he returns.

"What type of host are you?"

I say staring him down.

"You invited yourself."

He says making me roll my eyes.

"Well it would have been better if you didn't answer the door. At least I would have gotten the message quicker."

I say and we both start laughing.

Trenton then sits next to me.

"That was Kye. He's on his way."

"With Diana?"

I ask in a deadly tone, and when Trenton nods, I immediately rise up from my seat and exit the pent house.
